Chapter 13 didn't show any barbarians, only fragments!
Chapter 13 didn't show any barbarians, only fragments!
Lu Bu's expression changed, and finally he bowed deeply in complete submission.
"My lord, I, Lü Bu, will handle the matter of massacring the surrendered Xianbei soldiers."
"Yes, the mass grave must be located near the Jingguan (a mound of corpses). I want to make Linrong County an eternal nightmare for the foreign tribes!"
Li Qing decisively issued the order.
Lü Bu clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied, "As you command!"
Li Qing thought for a moment, then seemed to remember something.
"And there's one more thing you must remember."
Li Qing whispered the order: "The soldiers are extremely exhausted. We must make sure they get plenty of rest."
"The people of Linrong have been exhausted from building the city walls for days and cannot be conscripted any more."
"Let the surrendered Xianbei soldiers do the work of digging mass graves themselves."
His tone was light, yet it carried a hidden cruelty.
The surrendered soldiers were ordered to dig their own graves!
This act is a double destruction of their spirit and body.
Imagine the despair of the surrendered soldiers when they realized they were about to be buried alive!
Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a chill, with only one thought in his mind: "Fortunately, my lord and I are not enemies."
The Han army drove 60,000 surrendered Xianbei soldiers to Linrong County as if they were livestock.
Meanwhile, inside Yanmen Pass!
Two burly men are drinking heartily.
They were trusted confidants of Tuoba Zhao, Xianbei generals who were ordered to stay and guard Yanmen Pass, and served as commanders of ten thousand men.
One was named Tuoba Yu, and the other was named Huyan Long.
A dozen or so Han Chinese women, dressed only in thin clothing, were forced to crawl like wild animals under the threat of swords and knives.
Tuoba Yu laughed loudly: "Han women are born slaves. Look at how realistically they crawl like dogs!"
"That's right!"
Huyanlong also burst into laughter, then drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"The Han people are weak, easily defeated, and utterly useless creatures!"
"Only that idiot Huyan He would let 30,000 Xianbei warriors die in vain!"
Tuoba Yu said coldly, "Indeed, Your Majesty values the Han people too much."
"That's just an insignificant little county town; there's no need to mobilize 150,000 troops to capture it."
"Five thousand light cavalry would be enough to take Linrong County. I could take the magistrate's head and use it as a chamber pot."
Huyan Long laughed and said, "Three thousand light cavalry are enough. I can tear the magistrate of Linrong County to pieces!"
A messenger suddenly rushed into the room.
"Report!"
As the messenger passed by the Han women, his eyes revealed greed.
Tuoba Yu raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
The messenger bowed his head and humbly replied, "There is a troop of cavalry outside the city, dressed in our Xianbei attire!"
Tuoba Yu and Huyan Long burst into loud laughter.
The two stood up together.
"I've said it before, a small county town can't possibly hold out against an army of 150,000!"
"That's right, this cavalry must have been sent by the King to deliver news of the victory."
The two laughed, pushed aside the Han woman blocking their way, and quickly left the mansion, heading towards the city wall.
outside the city.
Xiang Yu was leading five thousand Zhulong Divine Cavalry.
They donned Xianbei armor in an attempt to conceal their identities.
"Brother, were you sent by the King?"
"Linrong County has undoubtedly been destroyed by our Xianbei army!"
Tuoba Yu stood on the city wall and burst into laughter.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu's eyes immediately turned cold, and he loudly replied, "We just returned from the King's residence!"
"Linrong City has fallen into our hands. Return and report the victory!"
Tuoba Yu laughed again: "No one can stop the might of our Xianbei cavalry!"
"You've had a long and arduous journey back! Guards, open the city gates!"
The massive gate of Yanmen Pass creaked as it slowly opened and descended.
Xiang Yu led his Zhulong Divine Cavalry, slowly urging them forward.
Hu Yanlong glanced at it, his brows furrowed, and a sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.
"Their horses are not Xianbei horses!"
"This is a Han Chinese army!"
"Quickly, close the city gates immediately!"
Huyanlong's gaze was sharp as a knife.
Standing a mile away in the pitch-black night, he immediately recognized that the Dark Night Steed ridden by the Candle Dragon God was not a Xianbei breed!
This cavalry force is a trap!
"Close the city gates immediately!"
He shouted loudly, his voice tense, his eyes filled with shock.
How dare those seemingly fragile Han people launch a preemptive attack on Yanmen Pass?
At his shout, the half-open city gate paused for a moment, then slowly rose again.
A cold glint flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes, and he charged forward on his Dark Night Steed.
The Overlord Spear was instantly raised high!
The body's power is transmitted from the waist to the shoulders, from the shoulders to the elbows, and then from the elbows to the hands.
Suddenly, he unleashed tremendous power!
The Overlord Spear flew out of his hand like an arrow released from a bow, heading straight for Huyanlong on the city wall!
One mile!
The Overlord Spear weighs over 100 kilograms!
Hu Yanlong was caught off guard and was still in surprise when the Overlord Spear had already flown in front of him!
His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly drew his sword.
But it was too late.
"Bang!"
The Overlord Spear slammed into his breastplate, instantly shattering the protection, piercing his flesh, and completely breaking his sternum!
Hu Yanlong was sent flying by the immense force of the Overlord Spear, crashing heavily into the wall!
His eyes were wide open, his face was bloodless, and his throat moved but could only produce a muffled hoarse sound.
He couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
His eyes then rolled back, and he died instantly.
This once-powerful and glorious Xianbei general has lost his life in such a disgraceful way!
"Huyan!"
Tuoba Yu's expression changed drastically. He immediately rushed forward, trying to pull out the Overlord Spear and put down Huyan Long's corpse.
But he couldn't do it!
The Overlord Spear was deeply embedded in the city wall, as if it had become one with the wall.
Even if he tried his best, he couldn't budge it at all!
Tuoba Yu looked on in astonishment.
His strength should not be underestimated; as a commander of ten thousand Xianbei, he was once a renowned warrior.
Even he was powerless to move the Overlord Spear, demonstrating just how powerful the Han Chinese who hurled it were.
Two Candle Dragon Divine Riders also threw their Overlord Spears, cutting the ropes of the city gate in two!
The three-zhang-high city gate lost its support and crashed to the ground, emitting a roar like a giant beast.
Yanmen Pass has been opened!
Xiang Yu drew his scimitar and shouted, "Candle Dragon Cavalry, follow me to take Yanmen Pass!"
Five thousand Dark Night Steeds followed behind and launched an attack together.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, shaking heaven and earth!
Even a formidable pass like Yanmen Pass was trembling!
The Candle Dragon Divine Rider revealed its ferocious face.
The Xianbei soldiers guarding the pass could not withstand the attack and were immediately killed.
The army was invincible and captured Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop!
Corpses littered the area inside the pass.
Regardless of age or gender, everyone fell into a pool of blood!
The women's clothes were disheveled and their lower bodies were torn, proving that they had been cruelly abused before their deaths.
This evidence clearly shows that the Xianbei bandits committed terrible crimes when Yanmen Pass fell.
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent.
His eyes seemed to be burning with rage.
The other Candle Dragon riders also had cold expressions and exuded a chilling aura.
His killing intent toward the enemy reached its peak at this moment.
"Attack! Kill them all!"
Xiang Yu issued the order coldly and firmly.
The Candle Dragon Divine Rider immediately spurred his horse and charged out.
All the Xianbei people they encountered were hacked to pieces.
